itsdinesh1983 Same issue on my XPS 7590. I replaced the battery thinking it had warn out, but to no avail. They really messed up with this one, I am thinking about switching to MacBook now (very painful thought)
- NPHoffmann8703 could you run a battery health report as mentioned in my comment here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-insider-program/battery-draining-issue-after-installaiton-of-windows-11/m-p/3050337/highlight/true#M13654 and report back if you're seeing the same thing
- What information are you looking for specifically? Old battery max capacity was 72Whr/97, new one is 93/97. On windows I was getting 10 - 14 hr battery, now I am getting 2-4 hrs tops.
I thought I was going crazy for the past couple weeks. I first noticed my battery was stuck at 99% and would not lower. I plugged it in knowing that wasn't the case. Restarting didn't seem to do much. Eventually though, I unplugged it and closed up shop. Now, EVERY TIME I open my HP the battery is dead. I have to have it plugged in almost constantly.
I had zero issues with battery life prior to installing Windows 11. Seeing all the comments only solidifies the fact it is the source of the problem. Hoping there is some kind of update implemented that will rectify the situation.
I am also facing the same issue... I was getting battery backup of 6-7 hours which is reduces to only 2-3 hours. This is huge. itsdinesh1983
- I'm seeing the same issue but I think I found the cause, not that I can find a solution. I noticed the problem too late to roll back and don't have the time to do a clean Windows 10 install.
My battery on my 6 month old laptop went from lasting 3 or 4 hours to about 20 minutes. I ran a battery health report and found that max capacity had reduced from 41000 to 34000 the day of Windows 11 update (8 November). 23000 the next week 14000 the next, 6000 the next and finally down to 2408 where it's been since.
So according to the report, capacity dropped 95% in about 3 weeks. Estimated battery life dropped from 3 hours 49 minutes to 13 minutes.

So could anyone still having the drain issue please run a battery health report outlined at the link below. Check under "Battery capacity history" in the report and see if you're also seeing the same capacity issue.

- Same issue, My laptop is Asus ROG G531.
I use my laptop a few day in a week.
At first, I wasn't sure that my laptop completely shutdown.
But it still happen after I'm surly shut down my laptop.
I'll revert back to windows 10 next week. - To get rid of this problem temporarily :
1- open task manager.
2- go to startup, and click on right button on COM Surrogate and press display.
3- go to process and end task COM Surrogate. - Same Issue, with a Brand new HP EliteBook 840 G6, However the battery is RUINED. The HP diagnostics stated Battery Cell Damaged(40) Fuse Failure (41). i revert to windows 10 and windows 10 now would no longer charge the battery. Extremely disapointed of Microsoft.
